1926 Chevrolet, 1 ton, Series X:
This is a stunning example of a 1926 Chevrolet 1 Ton Truck in the true form in which it came from the factory, and has been preserved in its original condition over the past 88 years. The exterior wood, wheels and fenders, hardware, nuts and bolts have been untouched and retain their original patina which has aged the truck gracefully. The tires have been replaced sometime throughout its life. All the glass is period correct, but unable to verify its orginality. The original vinyl roof looks to have been replaced at one time with original type "cobra" grain material. The interior also retains all of the original wood, steering wheel, all gauges, pedals, windshield wiper, gas tank under seat and tilt windshield. The seat has been reupholstered with leather but maintains its original spring base. Equipped with the original 171 cu in, 4 cylinder engine, with only 8,800 original miles showing on the working odometer and floor mounted three speed manual transmission. The motor has replaced plugs, wires, hoses, fuel lines, fuel filter and water pump replaced, along with a carburetor and fuel vacuum pump rebuild. Maintenance of all fluids, oils and greases seem to have always been checked thoroughly. The undercarraige has also been preserved consistent with the rest of the truck. When I purchased the truck it retained all of its original cloth wiring, but I chose to rewire the entire truck with the original colored coded cloth wiring for safety reasons. The truck starts, runs and drives, but at this point has been maintained merely as a piece of history. I do have the (2) sliding doors, one is intact and the other is disassembled. Will take a little work to get them back in order, but all the pieces seem to be there and they have the same patina.
This rare 1926 Chevrolet 1 ton is by far one of the oldest and most original "vehicles" a person will ever find and is sure to make a statement in any museum or personal collection. I have enjoyed the truck in my collection for several years and the time has come to pass it on to the next caretaker, as did my predecessors.
Seller reserves the right to end the auction early as the truck for sale locally.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have and I will get back to you as soon as time allows.

The story of the 2014 Chevrolet SS: "Luxury, power, refinement, handling"
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Not including the women and men who built it, the 2014 Chevrolet SS has only been seen in person by a piddling number of people - fewer humans than would fill the gymnasium at a high school volleyball game. Not including the men and women who built it, no one has driven it. Even so, it is already saddled with two controversies: the way it looks and the way it shifts.
First to that shifting. Did we love the last Americanized Holden, the awesomely sportsome Pontiac G8 GXP, and its six-speed manual? Of course. Do we wish the SS came with a six-speed manual? Of course. But we'd like a toboggan to come with a manual transmission. We'd put a manual transmission on a weasel if we could because we're just wired that way; if it moves, it should come with a stick and a clutch. Or at least the option.
Let's climb down off the ledge, though. We haven't driven the SS and we have no idea how good (or not) the automatic is. And the Hobson's Choice in transmissions when it comes to sport sedans like the BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Jaguar XFR-S and, oh yeah, cars-that-really-should-have-manuals like the Audi R8 and Nissan GT-R and Porsche 918 and every single Lamborghini and Ferrari, for instance, hasn't stopped us from enjoying what is clearly the gruesome, dual-clutched demise of Western automotive civilization. Because in spite of our ululations at the dying of the six-speed light, we understand.
800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts
Wed, 27 Feb 2013There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.
